Seems like an odd detail to include. Did it come up in the press conference?

"Chief Wiggum! Chief Wiggum! Over here! Mark Pulitzer, NWF Daily News. Can you elaborate on the type of chocolate milk? Was it pre-mixed, or was this homemade? Was it Quik powder, or chocolate syrup? Hershey's or Bosco?"

"Why do they call it Ovaltine? The mug is round. The jar is round. They should call it Roundtine. That's GOLD, Jerry!"

She probably thought having a glass of chocolate milk sitting on top would make it less likely they'd look in there? Considering she took out all the things that would be stored inside but failed to hide them it was the equivalent of standing with your back to the closet door insisting, "Nope, nobody in here."

Nobody's asked how a full glass of chocolate milk could rest undisturbed on the ottoman when the person who ostensibly placed it there is within said ottoman. That's the important thing here. Did he have an accomplice? Supernatural intervention?

But seriously: and several items that might have been stored in an ottoman sitting on the couch.

WTHell? For one thing, most ottomans are designed to be large footstools. Not storage furnatureAnd just what the fricken hell constituents "items that might have been stored in an ottoman"?I can see a bedside table having items such as condoms, Readers Digest, AstroGlide, laying on the bed. And a cop, figuring someone emptied the drawer on the bed.But I just don't see any particular items that they say would be stored in an ottoman and were emptied out onto a couch.But just because, again, most ottomans are not made to be storage containers.

FTA: When the officer arrived he saw a woman coming down the stairs. She immediately went back up the stairs and entered an apartment. The person who called police directed the officer to the same apartment. The officer knocked, and after several seconds the woman answered. She denied the man was in the apartment, and gave the officer permission to search her apartment.

It doesn't take Hercule Poirot to figure out the woman who ran back up to the apartment to help him hide was his accomplice.
